    Because there is nothing to go off?

    The entire story is anonymized. No way to verify.

    And israel might be shit at freedom of speech but better than all of Palestine on that front. If you are pointing out two evils, israel is the lesser one lol

      While I’m aware this story happened in a different context: Anyone who has a „wrong“ sounding name is invited to try their luck at Tel Aviv Airport. Bonus points if you’re not white. Extra bonus points if solo traveling female. There’s nothing special about this story in a sense that they do these kinds of interrogations every day, including stalking people’s social media & deporting people critical of the Israeli government.

        Dont get me wrong. I am a brown man. I would never go to israel because it is at war with brown people next door and it does aggressive racial profiling.

        But this story is just sensationalist bullshit that cannot be verified or argued against.

      Not agreeing on comparing the evils, but there is a true point in that such stories are hard to verify. We should remember that regardless of our stances in the conflict.
